Why Do Most Christ Embassy Pastors Perm Their Hair To Look Like Chris Oyakhilome?

June 9, 2013 – Why Do Most Christ Embassy Pastors Perm Their Hair To Look Like Pastor Chris Oyakhilome?

Christ Embassy is one of the well attended churches in all the continent. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is the founding pastor of the ministry which he started back in the 80s and has taken the church to a greater height. He is a mentor to a lot of people and most especially his followers. He has a retinue of pastors who are very close to him and pastor his major churches across the continent. One synonymous thing about these pastors is that they have been with Pastor Chris for over 2 decades and now do whatever he does as part of mentorship.

Mentorship from pastor Chris helps to support and encourage then to manage their own learning in order that they may maximize their potentials, develop their skills, improve their performance and become the person they want to be. They are very stylish and very handsome. They took after their pastor in terms of their look, the way they talk and also how they preach. Their dressing epitomizes that of Pastor Chris and they also teach his doctrines the way he led them.

They are key players in the church and have contributed immensely to the growth of the ministry. They are Pastor Chris’ favorites’ and well loved by many members of their congregation. They operate at the higher level in the church and are Pastor Chris’ right hand men. These men of God have very infectious personality. You cannot come in contact with them without getting a whiff of what or who Pastor Chris is.

Question From A Curious Mind

One synonymous thing about these pastors is that they have been with Pastor Chris for over 2 decades and now do whatever he does as part of mentorship.

Most of them have relaxed their hair like women in order to look like their leader.

Why can’t they just be themselves?

Question from a curious mind who have come in contact with most of these men.

bcs if u hav a master in anything u are doing u will like to do exacly wat he do .and wen u love somebody u begin to luk like him,bcs u imagen to ur self.bcs God love man,he made man in his own image.so resemblance start frm God.

That’s the sign of end time. The Bible said without holiness no one can see the Lord. I wonder what so call man of God is preaching to his congrigation. If see them they also bleach their body. May God deliever them.

You are just an illiterate ,spiritually you are deaf, what has your body got to do with entering heaven, don’t you know that man is spirit, he lives in a house called body. If you like tattoo your brain, God looketh at the heart, while canal people like you, looks at the outward appearance. Hearing the word of God is a gift, not for every body, some people like you use your eyes to hear, why don’t you go and start your own church ,lets see the leadership quality you have. Do you think it is easy to deceive people, try it, smart dude. You Sabi something,why you no save Nigeria from PDP and the hegemonies that has seized the country. When you enter bus for Lagos ,do you ask the driver for his drivers license before you arrive at your destination. Mumu , let your eyes of the spirit be opened, not your belle, cause someone like you na Westinghouse you go chop be your problem

i dont even knw d peopl dat wil mek dis heaven sef! Who knws d right dress for men and for women? How i wish i saw Jesus that time he came i would hav knwn de proper dress and some other things! Am confuse oo

Well hmm I don’t like to jugde wen I don’t hv evidence.most d whole pastor’s fry there hair b4 they will be able to preach like Chris, their most be sum GIANT COCKROACH in there cardboard.d end determine d race

for me is bad for them to relax their the shouldn’t follow the foot steps of their mentor rether the should emulate Jesus christ wen he was in the world did he relax his head rather he focus on wat he wassent to do in the world. the should remember that man sholud not imitate woman and thatz wat the are doing imatating woman

Honestly, those pastors are doing the right things by following the footstep of their master as their master is equally following the footstep of Jesus christ the Leader of all churches. It is good to behave and act the way your master does.

Matthew 7: 1“Do not judge so that you will not be judged.2“For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.3“Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?4“Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye?5“You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye

Too many distractions. why can’t we always be a positive thinkers and leave everything for God to judge.we all have an account to give before God on the day of judgement. so why not get busy and begin to fight for your own salvation.Instead of condemning others.

Christ Embassy pastors have chosen whom to follow: “pastor Chris Oyakilome”. That is their own God. But I charge you, as a child of God aiming for heaven, follow Christ who is the Authour and Finisher of faith. I pity those following this Chris Oyakilome who is busy preaching heresy, that masturbation is not sin. Those pple shud find their way out before itz too late.

I am a Rosicrucian and I can tell you that Rosicrucian live a more holy life than the Christians of today. The word Christian was first used in Antioch meaning: Christ like. Now ask yourself these questions Are these men Christ like ? Did Jesus the Christ collected money for any person with any kind of problem to see HIm? was He bribed? Did Jesus used an expensive donkey when entering Jerusalem? Did He wear an expensive rob and permed His hair? Did Jesus support Masturbation? Did Jesus Christ sell holy water to sick people? was Jesus The Christ gay like some of the Pastors we have today. Jesus the Christ provided for the widows and the paupers whereas The pastors of today extort from their poor followers in the name of seed and stuff. Did Jesus Christ own a house of His own? when you have pondered over these, tell me if the people that parade themselves as Pastors and Christians today are really Christians or the antichrist.

cross you are wonderful i hope many people reason like you but unfortunately
for necessity or whatever people might claim to so blind .the act will go for long because our people are so religios but not godly any foolish man will deceive them just hold a bible or al quaran any one of the 2 has qualified you as men of god .
we are so sick of realigion in our country ,one day god will open our eyes

The anointing that operates in a ministry will rub on the followers(in like manner what is happening in ng now is a reflection/off shoot of how the top is- compare sanity and fair play and law adherence in 2 most mentioned advanced countries).Judgement is of God bc we shall all stand before the judgement seat of God one day,one by one Romans 14.10.

I BELIV IN ONE TIN N DATS STANDING OUT IN D TINS U DO.IF DIS SO CALLED MEN OF GOD IMITATES DIS MAN IN ALL HE DOES WAT LEGACY RE THEY LEAVIN BEHIND FOR D UP-COMING GENERATIONS.PLS LEAV UR LIFE JUST D WAY U RE,HAVIN IN MIND DAT ALL U DO IS TO PLS GOD N TO BE AT PEACE WIT ALL MEN COS ON DAT DAY NA ALL MAN ON UR OWN.

well, everybody hav right to their opinion. but for those of u condemning these great men whom has in massively impacted many round the world , i pray God should open ur eyes to see. relaxing ur hair or not, does it hav anytin to do with ur salvation or guarantee you to make heaven? Christianity is personal. May God forgive u and give positive mind.

Some pple just pass unreasonable comments becos this is a Social network. You may choose not to take care of your body or whatever. If they choose to relax their hair in order to look good, who makes anybody a judge over that? Or is there any part of the scricpture that condemns that? Do you know that ordinary vasiline contains chemical? So if you apply vasiline, then you are not different from what you are condemning. Some of you call God, the God of………….[you’ll put the name of your Pastor] yet you’ll not condemn that. Dont you know that it is the devil that the bible describes as the accuser ofthe brethren” Pls repent! Kudos to the reasonable pple that have commented earlier.

if a person fry his hear like woman then what will woman then plait? infact in short that is a demonic and cultic organization or groups mind u in The end time so many evil things will began to happen and that is the exact sign.

During the end time, there shall be many false preachers. We are seeing all this now. P.Chris perms his hair is just a sign of what is moving him. Will a man filled with the Holly Spirit have time for that?. I have also heard about his teachings that encourage masturbation. Is that biblical? For sm1 to be masturbating???. He is indirectly supporting the watching of Pornography. He should have included that aswell in his teachings to balance the equation. God is no respecter of persons. One should not accept these evil teachings because it came out of the mouth of a well known famous & wealthy Preacher!!. “IT IS NOT ALL THAT CALL ME LORD, LORD THAT SHALL ENTER INTO MY KINGDOM” Thus sayeth the Lord>>>

You dat put this issue here, you know exatly wat you want, here is wat I gat to tell you and others that are judging this people, listten, ” someone went into the bush to deficate as he was bending down to do so a man somewhere was piping @ him and as well another was bending but this time piping @ the one piping @ another so it continue……. And will never stop. So Be carefull of what comes out of our mouth bcos we are the product of what we said. If you say wat if i close my mouth and not saying anthing, this is for you– if u have a farm and you refused to plant something, won’t something grow in it? Definately it wont be a good thing,Then use your mouth to build ur self and nat condeming others. You are today wat you said ystaday.

Any pastor that like to fry hair like them let him fry. Do not judge, but my advice to the followers is that they should read their Bible again and again if they find such in the bible, that Jesus did the same thing they can continue but if not they should repent now. Hell is real and Heaven is real. On the judgement day only you will stand for judgement, no general over sear will be there with you.

The reason why they fry their hair lyk their leader is dat GOD never call dem to do a pastoral work, it is self indulgement, they are only imitating him and the love dey have for what chris does and our chris do it dat is why dey become a pastor, If not, not the love dey hve 4 GOD and the work of GOD dat make dem to be a pastor dat is why dey can’t be demself.

I love This Topic. our focus should be on Christ, I am not trying to judge anybody but the Bible say we should not be a stumbling block to anybody. The man of God and these pastors needs to reflect on this topic and do a serious prayer. May the good Lord help us all.

It is there in the Bible that by their fruits we shall know them,we are not actually judging others.When these people die they will see what they have done to themselves.they deceived millions so therefore they have millions corrections to make before facing their own personal problems,how many decades or centuries will that last them? I believe Chris would love to stop perming his hair but what again will he tell his members,Well,let me not talk much,but I charge us all to always do that which is right,let’s strive to make this place be like Heaven like we always promise in Our Lords prayer “Thy Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven”

I come from Ghana.
Haven read all your comments ; I realize
That the opposers are plentiful than the positive thinkers.
Some say why not copy Jesus. Did u ever see Jesus before.
So they shd wear sandals?
Some say they fry thier hair… has that taken their anointing away.
By the look of some harsh comments despite
they being men of God, I think
*******has a 1000 years between mediocrity and
prosperity!!
U guys can insult and talk too much!!!
U just dont care if they are pastors or not!!!
I know il b insulted here too.
Insult is in your blood gene. It won’t help u

Don’t mind them kwaku, jealousy is the root of all hatred. most of these pple comenting are pastors whose members are now worshiping in christ embassy church so they’re angry. and where in the Bible did GOD say only women should perm their hair? isn’t the same GOD who create man hair create women hair? or did GOD hate when pple are handsome and neat? don’t you know that GOD loves beautiful things? GOD give pple ideas to create those cream for our benefit, so the fact that you’re like baboon does’nt mean all the black pple would be like you. and where in the Bible did GOD give women the right to perm hair and forbid men from doing the same? this is how they are, instead of their church to increase it’s decreasing becos they don’t know the scripture. hypocrites! just like the pharisees they’re quick to criticise. GOD says be fruitful and multiply, go to their church and see whether they’re multiplying. the same group of people you’ll see playing religion. no renewing of their mind.

Pple who study their bibles & are familiar with the gospels know very clearly that things like this do not defile a man. Nor do they commend anyman to God.

Perming of hair, whether man or woman HAS never been God’s problem.

It is ONLY irritating to OUR CULTURE.
Period!!!

It’s not a holiness issue. Its a matter of preference.
They are at liberty to make their choice.
Whichever, will still get pple talking.

However, culture progresses. Today perming of women’s hair is okay. It wasnt so years ago. Even churches that opposed it then are doing it today.

So what happened? compromise? lol

Culture(a people’s accepted norms) is DYNAMiC.

You may not like it. FINE! Its OKAY. Pls teach you children to dislike it as well. But it is terribly devilish and heartless to speak evil against these men of the Spirit who have given up so much to serve God.

You may think you have a right to say any thing because you “fear nobody”. But from the bible, so many examples of pple who spoke against His anointed WITH ZEAL , God discouraged,punished & killed.

There are different kind pple .1.Those who came to criticise, These type of people are motivated by culture, tradition and religion always frustrated by the economy they call their own .2. Those who came as observer. These set of pple are non creative and very unambitious, even though God had said in the bible be fruitful and multiply. They came to clap and watch English premier league. 3. Those who came to change the world and their cultural thinking. These pple are game changers, they don’t have time to criticise, full of love for mankind mostly, looking forward to adding value and invention improving life beyond the way God left it.
These people truely sees themselves as the image of God. Where do you belong .

i was a member of Christ Embassy some years ago. Rev Chris was too much then. His members should learn to pray for their pastors. It is very glaring that a lot has crept into the ministry. The bible says we should take heed we that thinketh we stand. I believe the hair thing is a deviation from the kind of lifestyles they should teach to people. Even the face making up of the Pastors. What time do they have as men to be combing her and dressing hair before coming to preach. I for one has been embarrassed at the new look they all have They should go back to been serious. They should remember many are called but few are chosen. This is not critizing but they should remember that the advesary the devil is very subtle….

See guys it all depends on your level of faith, I use 2 judge Chris by his appearance until i found out that it does not matter how you look, I can confidently tell you that Paul’s manner of teaching, dressing & appearance could be seen in most areas of Timothy’s life…. abt de perming of hair, well i don’t see anytin wrong with it as God created us with hair, since He created Us with Hair then why do we cut it low & why do some refuse to cut??

you see itz a choice…!!
and plsss never speak bad of a Man of God, cause when you do so you ‘re questioning God

What will take Some people to hell, is what they just posted here. Some have put themselves in the position of God to judge others, So where is the place of God. You are sharing is glory? I pity all of you. Oyakilome is answerable to God not you.

Some of you are not even ashamed of yourselves, a man like you having an International influence throughout the continent fulfilling His purpose of existence, While Some of you in your local village with no Job saying nonsense. Achievers are always talked about……whether positive or negative comments. Even Our Lord Jesus was condemned for even doing good. Because Jesus is an achiever.

You are all busy doing nothing. The so called pastors or churches you try to write articles about don’t even have time to read them. If dressing up like pastor Chris is now sin, then dressing like any man of God is sin. But is that the way the Bible define sin? My brother we all will be judged. Dress modestly the Bible say not like african. There are pastors out there dressing like real Africans but what is happening within them and their churches is even worse. There is no perfect church in the world. Both defenders and acusers consider your own ways. Pls note I’m not a christ embassy member. Please Wait O is this how Muslims write about their Islam? People who don’t know what to do with the life God has offered them. Spend it doing this. Is this the gospel?
